Ironman’s new bars

Airbag compliant design

-

These days, a bull bar has three key missions: protect the 4WD, protect other motorists and still look awesome.

It is required to comply with strict safety standards.

Vital for rural and remote area travel, bull bars provide substantia­lly improved protection for vulnerable mechanical components against animal or brush strikes while providing a solid base for mounting other accessorie­s like driving lights, winches and CB antennas.

Ironman bull bars are engineered and manufactur­ed to not only maintain maximum functional­ity, but also to ensure they complement the look of the vehicle.

The company’s latest bars feature triple loop A-frame design, are designed to be compatible with winches, feature mount points for hi-lift jacks, dual radio aerials and spotlights or light bars. Importantl­y, they are also designed to allow for parking sensors and to allow for airbag compatibil­ity.

Ironman develop all 4WD products from the ground up, taking into account a wide range of uses and customer needs.

The company uses 3D scanning and CAD modelling alongside extensive engineerin­g and third-party testing.

Bars are supplied in black powder-coat or can be colour coated in vehicle colours.

Ironman also offers a rear protection tow bar in four mm steel which complement­s its bull bars. Built into each bar are rear tow point and high lift jack mounts. Each rear bar is supplied with a 50mm tow ball.

The hitch is rated to 3,500kg.

In all applicatio­ns except Hilux, the design includes protection for vulnerable side panels.
